The Westin Houston Downtown
Houston
216 reviews
Downtown Houston hotel with spa, fitness center, and shuttle service
Check availabilityWhy guests love itThe Westin Houston Downtown scores 9.4 out of 10 from 216 guests, and its address is the main reason families book it: Minute Maid Park and the George R. Brown Convention Center are just steps away, so a ball game or a convention needs no parking plan. Rooms are air-conditioned with flat-screen TVs and free WiFi, and the hotel runs a free shuttle. There is no pool in the listing, so I would book it for an event weekend rather than a swim break.

Houston
682 reviews

There is no pool in the listing, so it suits families with older children heading to a play, a concert or the ballet nearby. I recommend it for a cultural weekend downtown.
